1 Timothy 5:9

9 Put a widow on the list who is older than 60 years old and who was faithful to her husband.

1 Timothy 5:9 In-Context

7 Teach these things so that the families will be without fault.
8 But if someone doesn't provide for their own family, and especially for a member of their household, they have denied the faith. They are worse than those who have no faith.
9 Put a widow on the list who is older than 60 years old and who was faithful to her husband.
10 She should have a reputation for doing good: raising children, providing hospitality to strangers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in distress, and dedicating herself to every kind of good thing.
11 But don't accept younger widows for the list. When their physical desires distract them from Christ, they will want to get married.
